After a gap of four years, pilgrims going to Palani had a comfortable and hassle-free train journey at an unimaginably cheaper fare as the Southern Railway introduced train services by operating its first passenger train (No.56774) to Palani, on the newly converted broad gauge line here.

After special pujas, the beautifully decorated train, comprising eight general second class coaches and two luggage-cum-brake van coaches, departed from Dindigul railway station at 1 p.m. It will halt at Akkaraipatti, Oddanchatram and Chatrapatti railway stations and reach Palani in one and half hours.
